Flapper Style



































With The Great Gatsby set to be released on Christmas, 2012 I think we shall see a resurgence of flapper style in the coming year.  This Christian Dior Resort 2012 Byzance drop-waist dress is a smashing example.

Green & Turquoise

After a recent trip I took to Tucson, AZ to drive my piano back with me mum, I did not feel like blogging much as I wanted to get reacquainted with my beloved keys...which has been splendid!!  Though that does not mean that fashion has not been on my mind.  I have been thinking about green and turquoise ever since I saw this lovely ensemble that Ginnifer Goodwin wore to the MET Ball.



Here is what i would like to wear today as inspired by the ensemble above;


in the afternoon...

Sunday Spots

ASOS

My day of silence accidentally turned into a week- OOPS!!  I had a chance to go thrifting on Haight Street in San Francisco this past Monday and happened upon a polka dot sweatshirt.  It was not quite nice enough to land a spot in my closet, but has had me thinking about polka dots ever since.  Here is my Sunday best ;) ...  xoxo/aimee*
